"......Our reporting team learned about the container last week while investigating 82-year-old Markle's former life in the gated expat community of San Antonio del Mar.

It was rented to the Duchess of Sussex's estranged father in 2017 but he fell behind on the payments two years ago and moved to the Philippines in early 2025 without emptying it.

The business’s staff and owner say they knew nothing about the cache and were disgusted by its discovery.

Thomas Markle Sr told the Daily Mail Saturday: ‘I had no storage units in Rosarito!'"

There was no raid, the DM notified the FBI and that agency notified the Mexican authorities. Senior supposedly fell off on the rent, and considered abandoned, but the storage company didn't open it after all this time? Makes no sense. Storage companies will go after people late in rent or just stop paying, they take the person to court to him/her for back rent. If the party still doesn't pay, and in this case takes off, the unit is considered abandoned and the contents are either junked or sold at an auction. They also change the locks. So either Senior or Junior was paying, they could have getting payment by card, someone could rattle off the card number or they had it on file or by check with either Senior's real signature or a forged signature.
Doesn't make sense. The computers sitting there all this time in the heat, I don't know if much will be recovered, just like in the Philippines.
Who "tipped off" the DM?
